Question

Describe bud of a potato.

Answer 1

Hint: Vegetative proliferation occurs in its branches, roots, and stem as an asexual method of plant reproduction. This will happen by the fragmentation and regeneration of individual plant vegetative sections.

Complete answer:
Roots buds usually emerge within 25 days after the seedlings are founded on the main roots or upper lateral roots and are typically connected with the lateral bud foundation.

The bud of the flower is known as an undeveloped or embryonic shoot developing at the axil of the leaf or stem. A shoot bud is a compact, underdeveloped young shoot consisting of a shoot apex, a compressed axis, and a number of arching primordia over the rising apex that are closely overlapping. In the axil of leaves, axillary buds are present and are capable of forming roots or branches of a flower and eyes of potato types.

 Since it grows in underground stems, known as stolons, potato is classified as a stem vegetable. Potato tubers are known to be dense stems that have stems and leaves sprouting from the buds. Roots do not have the characteristics listed above, and potato is thus treated as a stem and not a root.

Note: Potatoes are primarily propagated by vegetative techniques (cloning). There are nodes or eyes of potato tubers from where the new development starts. The new stems that emerge from each eye are referred to as sprouts that give birth to the new plant. Either a whole tuber or a split tuber may be a vegetative seed.
